HEALTHIER EATING Many of the modern diseases, including heart disease, are partly caused by faulty diet. Nearly all of the experts agree that the average diet contains too much fat and sugar and not enough fibre. The following are suggestions for improvement. 1. CUT DOWN ONFATTY FOODS Avoid frying. Grill instead and let all the grease drain away Use less butter and margarine. Cut slices of bread thicker and spread the butter or margarine thinner Try low fat spread Go easy on cakes, pastries and biscuits many are surprisingly rich in fat, as well as sugar Trim off any visible fat from meat. Even lean meat contains some fat, so make more use of white fish or chicken Eat less meat, use more vegetables or pulses i.e. Beans,peas,lentils. Save on cream, which is high in fat. Serve natural yoghurt instead, with fruit salads, etc. Try a semi skimmed milk instead of whole milk Use a cheese that is lower in fat e.g. Edam, Camembert, Cheese spread and low fat hard cheeses. Cottage cheese and skimmed milk cheese are very low in fat Lack of fibre is not only associated with constipation, but may be associated with other bowel disorders. 2. INCREASE FIBRE: Eat more bread, especially wholemeal. All bread contains fibre, but wholemeal bread contains three times as much fibre as white bread. Eat more potatoes, but don't cook with fat (e.g. Chips) Try more vegetable based dishes. Use boiled or baked potatoes, rice, beans, peas, r lentils as the base, with perhaps a little meat for flavour. That way you will get less fat and more fibre. Try to have two pieces of fresh fruit and a portion of vegetables every day/ Choose a high fibre breakfast cereal, e.g. Unsweetened Muesli, Branflakes, Shreddies, Porridge. Avoid adding sugar to anything To sum up, replace sweet and fatty foods, e.g. Cakes, pastries, biscuits, chocolate, fizzy drinks and sweets with more bread, potatoes, fruit and vegetables.
